12:48.48wethrinSo, looking at the photo of the crashed range rover.....
12:48.56wethrinThe road looks okay, so the driver must've been a cock
12:49.36morsingbilarh_: Where's the Subaru?
12:49.44wethrin"One woman was ticked off by cops for driving with her windscreen covered in snow"
12:49.51wethrinScreen scrapers are NOT EXPENSIVE

12:51.46dick_turpinwethrin: Had fun about an hour ago trying to get an idiot to understand the difference between Warranty and Maintenance "No you cheapskate its a software issue you'll have to pay! And stop writhing on the floor you're not fooling anyone"

14:32.53dick_turpinI love that 'Pay as you go' support I may have to pinch that wording most of our customers are too thick to understand T&M

14:33.36bilarh_is it related to something else &m?

14:42.35kjssome of our clients then say "Does that mean we just pay for support as we use it?"
14:45.51dick_turpinTBH It might be an idea to have say £100 Pay as you go type top ups. PAG without any money up front is a bit pointless

22:07.23mozratHowdy
22:08.25ArmandHiya
22:08.59mozratAny bash gurus around? :-)
22:10.10Armandmaybe..
22:10.12Armandnot me..
22:10.14Armand:P
22:10.22mozratUnfortunately me either...
22:10.34mozratAnyway - how are you, is #gllug busy these days?
22:10.40Armandtried in ##linux ?
22:10.48Armandor /list bash* ?
22:11.53mozratNope, will do though
22:13.40sabinef72mozrat: mozzieeeeeeeeee
22:13.46mozratYo yo!
22:13.52mozratHi Sabine!
22:14.23sabinef72happy new year dear
22:14.33mozratAnd to you also
22:14.44mozratI'm still in the office - time to go home probably :-)
22:15.07AndyMillarmozrat: what've you broken?
22:15.13wethrinyo
22:15.16AndyMillarthough the bash I tend to come out with can be scary
22:15.22wethrinhow's stuff, mozrat?
22:15.33mozratHi wethrin - all good
22:15.43mozratis going to mail the mailing list
22:16.30AndyMillarbe quick, I'm interested now
22:16.31AndyMillar:)
22:16.46mozratOK
22:16.54mozratMy Bash output is "Message: Available bandwidth to 172.27.2.5 is 1.219 Mbps"
22:17.03mozratso my script captures the string 1.219
22:17.18mozratQuick bash recipe to store it in kbps
22:17.33mozratas Solarwinds monitoring is rounding me down to 1 each time which give me a rather flat graph
22:18.48mozratjust needs the math part, rather than splitting the string or anything else
22:21.40AndyMillarwell, you could do something like VAR=1.219 ; echo $(echo ${VAR}*1024 | bc )
22:23.28mozratMessage: Available bandwidth to 172.27.2.5 is 1.424 Mbps
22:23.28mozratStatistic: 1458.176
22:24.25AndyMillarlooks about right :)
22:25.01mozratIs there a nicer way to round down  1458.176 to a whole number (rather than splitting on the . )
22:25.24AndyMillarwhy do you want to, Solarwinds will do that for you
22:26.22mozratDoesn't appear to be at the moment, although I've only just configured this template
22:26.35mozratanyway..... I'm going to go home and drink beer
22:26.39mozratthanks AndyMillar
22:27.17DiscordianUKWell usually you round up from .5 and down if it's below
22:27.22DiscordianUKThat's what I was taught
22:35.27AndyMillarecho $(echo -e "${VAR}\n1024\n*\n0.5\n+\n1\n/p" | dc)
22:35.30AndyMillarmozrat: try that :)
22:35.57mozratAndyMillar, will do
